Protecting Yourself and Others from Scams Online
Today, the school E-safety Committee, along with Mrs Blower, led an assembly to introduce Internet Safety day. The focus is protecting yourself and others from online scams. We discussed what a scam is and what you should do if you think you are being scammed.
We had a super Science and Technology day using LEGO to build our rollercoasters. First of all, we used the LEGO to build our track and then we tested our rollercoaster from the launcher to see if it would stay on the track.
We then used LEGO We do to program a sensor which had a windmill attached to it. We put our sensor next to the track and every time the rollercoaster went past the sensor, the windmill would spin.
As part of our Mantle, we have been looking at creating some new Olympic Games that are inclusive to everyone and include a Micro:bit as part of their game. Once the games were created and instructions written, we all had a go and invited pupils from the school to have a go and review the new games.
As part of Dosbarth Gwennol’s work for Safer Internet Day the children took part in two activities this morning. The first was to read the story of Mog and Jo. Mog and Jo were two children that loved to play games online. However, one day they saw something that worried them. Luckily they told a trusted adult what was worrying them. We discussed the importance of always telling an adult if something makes us feel worried or uncomfortable.
Our second activity was to express a range of feelings caused by technology and the Internet.
We had a productive meeting where the main focus was Safer Internet day on 6th February 2024. We looked at the resources and discussed a whole-school assembly for that day. We also audited ‘Acceptable Use Agreements’ and ensured that all classes were displaying theirs, which they were!
